Plan – (Beginning)
When students get an assignment or a task, BEFORE they start doing anything, they should think---
· What am I supposed to do?
· What will it look like if I do a really good job?
· What do I need to find out to do the job?
Space
· I need to read and answer questions on the graphic organizer.
· All my questions will have complete answers.
· How do I use a table of contents?

Do - (Middle)
In the middle the students DO the activity. This is where they read, view, tell, make a picture, etc.
Space
· I use books to find information to answer questions.
· I will use the table of contents to find the right page.
· I will read text and look at pictures to find information.
· I will draw pictures to help answer the question.

Review – (End)
Before finishing the product and turning it in students should stop and
think - Is this done?
· Did I do what I was supposed to do?
· Do I feel OK about this?
· Should I do something else before I turn it in?
Space
· Are all my questions answered?
· Is my work done neatly?
· Did I use the table of contents?
· Did I write down all my source information?
